THIS WEEK IN SCHOOL - SEPTEMBER 6 - 9

READING - This week in school we will begin reading. Our school uses the Reading Wonders program by McGraw-Hill. In the first few weeks our class will learn how to read fiction stories and nonfiction articles carefully. During this time our class will focus on ways to talk about their reading with partners, learn the steps of the writing process, and learn key phonics foundations using Fundations to build reading skills used in the Wonders program. 

DIFFERENTIATED SPELLING LISTS WILL GO HOME THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 12th

MATH - This week in math we begin EnVision Math. Students will take an assessment just so I can see which skills students need to be taught in second grade. MATH HOMEWORK THIS WEEK IS TO COMPLETE THE 'MATH ABOUT ME' PROJECT BEING SENT HOME. The students will create Math People and they will be on display at Open House on September 13th.

WRITING - Students will be writing a descriptive paragraph about a person who is special to them. They also will continue to write in their journals, and will write a letter to a person living out of state.
